Awkward Loser Accidentally Gains So Much Charm He Can’t Handle

It was Christmas Eve and a lonely boy named hashiba sat outside sniffling after his imaginary girlfriend broke up with him suddenly a cute Santa handed him a package of tissues the next day at school he spotted the same girl walking past him with her friend he was shocked to see her there nearby some girls were asking a tall handsome boy about his weekend plans and if they could do karao together sometime his name was mataga And it seemed like he was pretty popular with the girls hashiba came running up almost knocking him into the girls

repeating over and over that he had found her confused Matsunaga asked who the hell did you find hashiba replied excitedly that he had found the cute Santa from the other day key one of hashi's friends walked over and greeted them with a good morning and hashiba immediately jumped onto him key thought maybe hashiba was Excited about the new semester but hashiba quickly told him I'm not cut out for studying he went on to explain that he had met aute Santa on Christmas and now it turns out she's a student at their school hashiba was talking

so loudly that ke had to cover his ears with his fingers Hashima continued anyway saying that she was wearing the same scarf he had given her a scarf he originally meant to give to his exgirlfriend but when he saw how cold Santa looked he gave it to her instead now he wanted to approach her and ask for his friend's help just then soshi another of their friends joined the conversation they moved their chat over to the coffee vending machine and hashiba recounted the whole story in detail massu asked why he didn't just call out to

her hashiba explained that the tissues she gave him were actually for a karaoke plate meaning she was just handing out advertisements so she Probably wouldn't remember him but hashiba had a point she was using a scarf a complete stranger had given her so maybe she did remember him he was convinced it was fate they had met when he needed tissues and now she was wearing his scarf Matsu told him that if he saw her again he should let him know and Matsu would talk to her to create an opening for hashiba just then the teacher

arrived and told hashiba that he had a class Duty that day and needed his Help with something hashiba asked if he needed just him and a teacher replied that a second person would be helpful hashiba turned to his friends to see who would help but they all disappeared after wishing him good luck while helping the teacher hashiba asked if he knew every student in the school when the teacher asked why hashiba explained that he was looking for a girl with short light brown hair who probably worked in a karaoke place the teacher Said a lot

of girls fit that description but just then they heard a girl's voice calling the teacher the teacher went over to her and hashiba followed to see who it was surprised to find the cute Santa girl asleep there he asked who she was and the teacher replied that she was anak kobayakawa who only came around occasionally but warned hashiba to keep a secret later at karaoke hashiba told his friends that the cute Santa Ori had a guy and it turned out to be none other Than their teacher just then that same girl arrived with cold drinks

and coffee and she did remember hashiba when she saw him they introduced themselves before she left hashiba thought about ordering another drink in the hopes she would come back but he ended up bloating his stomach with half a dozen cold drinks on his way to the restroom he noticed some strangers bothering Anna his friends urged him to play the hero so hashiba nervously approached the Strangers telling them not to bother his girlfriend Anna quickly explained that they weren't bothering her they just didn't understand Japanese so Yoshi stepped in to help translate while hashiba sat against

the wall embarrassed beyond belief his friends worried joked about whether he was still breathing the next day at school Natsu and Kei were reenacting the embarrassing scene from the day before making Hashi baa Soo she tried to comfort him saying things like That happen sometimes but then reminded him that the bigger shock should be her relationship with the teacher hashiba who had temporarily forgotten about the teacher suddenly spiraled back into depression wrapping himself in a metaphorical blanket of Darkness later a girl came by to collect homework from sooshi who told her that hashiba would submit

his homework later when hashiba eventually went to turn in his homework the teacher wasn't there but he saw Anna Sleeping in the room again as she slept she grabbed his arm and mumbled the teacher's name just then Sensei arrived and hashiba made a brutally awkward attempt to explain why he was there which ended in embarrassment it turned out that Anna was calling for Sensei because she was arguing with him in her dream not for the reason hashiba had assumed Sensei mentioned that hashiba said something about a scarf so the next day Anna packed it and

returned it to Him she had forgotten who gave it to her and now that she knew she wanted to give it back she thanked him for standing up for her at the cafe and handed him some discount coupons as she was about to leave hashiba stocked her and asked if Sensei was her boyfriend Anna clarified that she had a viral fever and was on medication which made her drowsy and that's why she sometimes fell asleep in the office hashiba felt both relieve and awkward for asking about it but Anna Didn't seem to mind with Valentine's

Day approaching hashiba daydreamed about Anna giving him chocolates however during a basketball game he was hit in the face by the ball snapping him out of his Daydream he ended up with a bandage on his face and Anna bumped into him asking if he was okay Matsu chimed in mentioning that Hashi like chocolates but an embarrassed hashiba told Anna to ignore him Anna's friend didn't like her talking to guys and scolded her saying All guys are creeps Matsu finding her cute asked if she'd give him chocolates but his charm fell flat when she called him

snobby and a creep making a face so haunting it with stick in his mind now that Matsu had brought up chocolates hashiba wondered whether he would receive any sooshi came up with the idea of the reverse chocolate phenomenon suggesting that since his own girlfriend wanted chocolates from him if hashiba really wanted chocolates from Anna why Not give her some first hashiba hesitated at the thought so key suggested just giving her chocolates as a thank you for the carao coupons hashiba unsure of how to make homemade chocolates was relieved when Matsu an expert offered to help

Matsu was asking the girl if she'd gave him chocolates when Anna's fiery friend Mary scolded him for getting in her way the girl asked if Matsu was close with Mary and he explained that he only knew Anna Nothing more the girl mentioned that Mary and Anna were always together and she had never never seen Anna with anyone else Anna was quiet while Mary was harsh at the cafe they were all looking at a picture on someone's phone talking about how delicious it looked Anna wondered if they were talking about chocolates or something else maxu helped

hashiba make chocolates but when hashiba ran into Mary and asked about Anna's whereabouts she spotted the chocolates In his hands snatched them and kicked hashiba to the ground hashiba wondered if the chocolates had flown away as Mary moved faster than XLR8 Matsu saw what happened and quickly retrieved the chocolates from her before she could throw them in the trash Mary covered up by saying she found them on the floor and thought they were trash Matsu told her they wor garbage and she retorted that they certainly were just like that scarf she warned Matsu not to

mess with Anna saying Anna only hung out with people like her in a flashback Anna told Mary that people said she was harsh but Anna didn't think so from that day Mary had become Anna's closest friend tears streamed down Mary's cheeks as she mumbled that Anna wasn't just a friend to her Matsu sensing the moment gave her a gentle kiss but Mary didn't find it sweet and ran away meanwhile hashiba stood Frozen smiling holding a note in his hand Kei told Matsu that hashiba had Received chocolates for Anna the next day Sensei called hashiba Matsu

and key telling them they had a test coming up sooshi explained that if they didn't score an average of at least 50 on the makeup exams they'd have to repeat the year the problem the highest scores they ever gotten were 25 for hashiba 23 for key and and 16 for Matsu and Su Yoshi didn't even want to know their lowest scores with only 3 days left to study Su Yoshi suggested a group study session at His place since he didn't want to advance to the second year alone romance at its peak sooshi thought having more

than one tutor would help so he invited his girlfriend to join them surprisingly he also bumped into Anna who agreed to tutor as well making it a one-on-one tutoring session for each of them hashiba got butterflies when he saw Anna and sooshi explained that she was the top scorer on all the tests he paired Anna with hashiba his girlfriend with Key and poor Matsu complained why am I the only one stuck with guy tutor hashiba was mesmerized by Anna's Beauty Y and casual clothes and she told him that repeating a year wouldn't be good after

a long study Marathon it had gotten pretty dark and Matsu suggested that it was time for the girls to head home the boys would be staying over so key suggested that hashiba walk Anna to the station while sug Yoshi walked his girlfriend home leaving maxu and key as The two odd men out on the way to the station Anna stopped and went to buy hot tea since they still had a bit to go it was cold outside hashiba wanted to pay for it but she insisted he'd take it as a reward for studying hard hashiba

then went into a store and brought back a sweet bun which they shared Anna confided that she never really had a lot of friends and had never been part of a big group like that before even though it was a steady session she enjoyed it Hashiba blushing told her he should be the one thanking her for tutoring she asked why he was always BL blushing which made him hide his face in embarrassment meanwhile Su Yoshi's girlfriend Yuki asked him if he was still mad and wanted to break up because she dyed her hair sooshi confused

asked if K had told her that he then explained that he just really likes black hair and asked her to go back to her natural color at the subway hashiba dropped Anna Off and she told him she was really happy to have spent time with him the next day in sensei's office they learned there was no actual threat of repeating the year it had all been part of a plan to make them take the test more seriously with sooshi in on the whole thing in class the teacher asked who wanted to join the beautification committee

and hashiba was the only one to raise his hand later he told his friends that Anna had texted him saying She was also thinking of joining the committee and all the guys were shocked that they had exchanged numbers hashiba excitedly mentioned that she liked spending time with him for the 69th time as his friends reminded him before heading home hashiba had committee duties Matsu had plans with a girl and sooshi was hanging out with Yuki that left key and nothing to do what hashiba asked who ke had made chocolate for key admitted it was for

his ex a 25-year-old Tutor but he no longer had feelings for her and wasn't involved with anyone he joked that he had some new techniques but no one to try them on Matsu ever the Troublemaker suggested that hashiba would be a good fit prompting hashiba to run as fast as he could to escape thankfully one of Key's friends tju showed up just in time and saved hashiba from Key's Antics inviting K to join a basketball game instead said outside the classroom Anna approached Hashi but ah Head to the committee meeting together but Mary wasn't happy

about her going with him and wanted to come along however Anna reminded her that she wasn't part of the committee which made Mary tear up to lift her mood Matsu appeared asking why she had been avoiding him since that incident Mary Furious labeled him the creepiest creep and told him to stay away Matsu called her cute as he walked off which only made her even more Furious meanwhile Su Yoshi left with his girlfriend and after the committee meeting hashiba asked Anna if they could walk home together and maybe stop for something to eat if she

was hungry Anna agreed and they headed off leaving K alone but it looked like key wouldn't be alone for long as a girl named Fuda approached him saying she thought he was cool and that she loved him key ever the jokester asked if she also loved playing with a whip causing the girl to take back her confession and Run away key sighed thinking romance just wasn't for him and decided to go play basketball the next day Hashi key telling him it's okay to bring out his whip sometimes Matsu texted key the address of a girl

and sooshi secretly slipped a special green pepper steak into Key's bag confused ke asked why they were all acting so weird hashiba explained that taju had texted them the day before saying K seemed lonely had no appetite and was afraid of girls now he Denied it saying that while he had been frustrated he was fine now summer was approaching and sooshi and hashib were watching key and Matsu play baseball against each other sooshi and bet on key while hashiba was rooting for Matsu's team Matsu was overly confident maybe too confident but in the end it

was key who won the game for his team Kei being an all-around athlete dominated no matter the sport ke and sooshi celebrated with Victory ice cream while Matsu and hashiba had to settle for ice cream sticks key always up for trying something new was encouraged by tuoshi to give tennis a shot next the basketball team was playing tennis nearby but none of these four boys were part of any official Club Matsu teased hashiba saying he should be interested in playing since he was on the tennis team back in middle school hashiba declined mentioning that he

had some Trauma from his tennis days just then Pidu arrived with his team explaining that some college students had taken over their court and even the rackets that were borrowed from the school as fate would have it one of the tennis balls rolled toward taju who picked it up for the college guys one of the students seemed to recognize hashiba calling him a brown-haired squirt it turned out to be imoa hashiba senior from middle school taju asked hashiba to request the rackets back from Imago when Hashiba asked imoa proposed a challenge if hashi's group could

beat them in tennis they get the rackets back but the losing team would become the winner slaves the college guys were professional level players and hashiba and his friends didn't stand a chance hashiba then shared the story of his Middle School tennis days back then his sister's senior Aya would often come to cheer him on when nagaa found out he quickly befriended hashiba and took care Of him helping him enjoy being on the team until one faithful day hashiba had arrived late to practice only to witness imaga confessing to Aya asking her out on a

date Aya uninterested told him that if he had a face as cute as hashiba she might have considered it after that day Imago would transformed into a harsh spiteful coach a far cry from the friend he had been the tennis match started and as expected the college team dominated sooshi not much of an athlete quickly Gave up and lay on the ground exhausted handing his racket to hashiba and urging him to avenge him usually hashiba was the one crying stressed or making weird faces but on the court he seemed like a completely different person with

Key's help hashiba found his stride and soon the pro players got a taste of their own medicine there were no match for the duo in the end imag returned the rackets trying to leave on a positive note conveniently forgetting about the slave Agreement but key ever The Joker got his wit ready and that's when the real fun began today sooshi looks exhausted because he's participating in a cross-dressing contest it's all thanks to hashiba who got him onto the festival committee earlier in class when the teacher asked for volunteers to join the committee hashiba suggested that

whoever was on day duie should join and it ended up being soshi and another girl while enjoying the festival Hashima told Matsu He wanted to stop by somewhere they headed to Anna's classroom where the students were dressed as Cafe Maids Mary blocked their entry saying they don't serve their kind there as Matsu dealt with the stubborn GateKeeper hashiba got a chance to talk to Anna she mentioned the cafe was fully booked and they probably wouldn't be able to get a seat hashiba brushed it off saying no worries they would meet tomorrow instead meanwhile Matsu got

scratched by a stray Cat and hashiba was urgently called Over by tuoshi who needed help his partner had caught a cold leaving hashiba no choice but to step in before he could protest they transformed him into a stunning Beauty and everyone started making fun of him flustered hashiba ran to Anna apologizing that he would would be able to meet her as planed since he was drafted into taking someone's place for a class event Anna with a blank expression simply replied that it's fine There's nothing to be done and wish him good luck before getting back

to work later when hashib was rehearsing for his contest Anna happened to passed by and saw him today is the contest day but it got delayed by an hour so hashiba rushed to see Anna however she completely ignored him giving him a cold look worried about why she was acting so distant sooshi assured him she was probably just busy with her own work just then Mary approached demanding to Know where Anna was because she was nowhere to be found and wasn't answering her phone she blamed hashiba for the situation Kei found Anna and handed her

his whip joking that she could use it to punish hashiba after giving it back to him she asked key why hashu canceled their plans the previous day and mentioned seeing him getting close to another girl that made her feel uncomfortable which is why she was acting cold she knew she should Apologize but couldn't shake off her lingering frustration key after teasing her her a bit explained that hashiba was also pretty upset and wasn't happy about being forced into the crossdressing contest hearing this Anna realized what had happened when hashiba finally showed up she quickly apologized

for her behavior that morning admitting it was a misunderstanding on her part and wished him the best of luck for the crossdressing contest leaving him Stunned he turned to his friends asking who told Anna about the contest because now she won a picture of him dressed as a girl and suddenly everyone was ready to take a snap so you know she received a group text saying they're going to the beach on the 5th of this month his girlfriend was thrilled when she heard about it but he told her she couldn't come since she hadn't finished

her costume work yet at the beach hashiba and K went into the water while Matsu Decided to try picking up girls sooshi on the other hand just wanted to relax however his plans were cut short when his annoying girlfriend suddenly surprised him from behind she claims she just happened to be here by coincidence so GOI didn't believe her for a second and it turned out she wasn't alone she brought Mary and Anna along too Mary seemed uneasy with all the guys around and wanted to leave immediately after spotting Matsu she said she came to Spend

time with Anna not to hang out with these losers which sparked an argument between her and Matsu hashiba and key noticed the commotion and hashiba nearly drowned when he saw Anna after regaining his composure he was so embarrassed he couldn't even look in her Direction because of her swimsuit seeing this Matsu asked Mary while she wasn't in a swimsuit she snapped back saying it was none of his business while Matsu kept Mary occupied Hashima sat next to Anna but had no idea what to say he awkwardly asked her to put on her jacket so he

could finally look at her without feeling embarrassed Anna teased him asking why he seemed okay around other girls in swimsuits but not her he replied that he didn't mind seeing the other girls but she was different she was special when Anna asked why she was special hashiba struggled to explain and ended up getting hit by a beach ball mid sentence meanwhile Matsu suggested that Mary give Anna a break and let him have a chance to talk to her Mary's response she smacked him on the head while sooshi was busy dealing with his clingy girlfriend Kane

was wandering alone when he noticed a girl in trouble she couldn't walk so he carried her on his back and took her to her friends she thanked him and asked for his name before he left everyone seemed to have a good time today well everyone except for Matsu summer break is over and hashiba Arrives at school early to copy Su Yoshi's homework but he's too late key and Matsu were already ahead of him all three of them managed to copy it but only hashiba got called into the principal's office to redo his work since he

didn't know how to copy without making it obvious outside the office he ran into Anna who handed him some beach photos Yuki had sent her their conversation was interrupted by one of Anna's classmates Mochi who was there to Help her with today's class duties hashiba immediately recognized him from the tennis match was surprised to learn he was in class 5 Mochi didn't realize hashiba knew Anna either Mochi mentioned that he's enjoying spending time with her now that they sit next to each other hashel later vented to his friends saying saying he was jealous of MOSI

Su Yoshi reassured him saying it doesn't matter since his girlfriend is at a completely different school he advised Hashiba to follow Matsu's example wandering into other classrooms during breaks for no real reason this boosted hashi's confidence a bit in the hallway Matsu saw Mochi hanging out with Anna and Mary some he tried asking Mary about it but she lashed out and scratched his face like an angry cat Matsu told hashiba that it seemed like mochin might have a crush on Anna so hashiba started spying on him he overheard a conversation where Mochi told his friend

How cute Anna was which left hashiba stunned later he saw Mochi having lunch with Anna and Mary Matsu encouraged him to take the empty seat next to Mary hashiba hesitated but Su Yoshi pushed him saying he needed to at least put in some effort or Anna would be out of his reach soon Gathering his courage hashiba went over and asked Mary if he could sit there she quickly refused but Anna invited him to join them the cloud Mochi then teased Anna saying it was nice of Her to let Hashima sit with since he looked so

desperate to sit with her hashiba immediately denied it but Mochi wasn't listening frustrated hashiba stood up and asked Anna if they could talk privately for a moment when he stepped aside hashiba struggled to find the right words sensing his discomfort Anna asked if it was true that he wanted to sit next to Mary he quickly denied it saying it was just mochi's misunderstanding this made Anna smile And he added that he'd rather sit with her instead please Anna invited him to have lunch with her tomorrow after a romantic rival appeared to compete with hashiba he

decided to practice love confessions with his friends the next day on the rooftop he didn't want to lose to Mochi so he even bought a book to help him out but Su Yoshi told him it was totally useless and Kei and Matsu couldn't stop laughing Matsu then shared his own approach saying that if it were Him he'd take Anna to a private karaoke room Sit Close to her give her a compliment and then confess his feelings ending at all with a kiss hashiba teared up because Matsu used Anna in his hypothetical scenario afterwards he gave

his example suggesting he'd start off casually and get the girl to confess herself he called out to the girl and when she asked if he needed something he'd say it's not that he needed something from her he thought she might Need asterisk him asterisk he keep teasing her until she finally confessed hearing this Kiba sued in the corner feeling like Darkness surrounded him his girl Anna had been used twice now in their examples finally it was time for sooshi to share some real experience on how to successfully confess to a girl but unfortunately he couldn't

guide them his girlfriend was the one who confessed to him not the other way around later Su Yoshi met up with his girlfriend and Admitted he admired how she could say things he could never bring himself to say she was open and honest with her feelings and that's what he liked about her he explained hashi's situation to her and she gave him a young girl's Bible to pass on to hashiba the next day outside they saw Anna sketching with Mary closely guarding her he pointed out to hashiba that security had gotten tighter now since Mochi

had told him he was having trouble approaching Anna Lately just then Mary noticed them and everyone quickly sced scattered except for Matsu who stayed behind finding her angry bird-like expression oddly cute Matsu was sitting in the middle of the market waiting for a girl to replyed his text but it seemed like she stood him up just then he spotted Mary happily texting someone and thought she might be waiting for her love interest but he was wrong she was waiting for Anna so they could hang out together Matsu asked if He could join them since his

plans got canceled Mary was completely against it leading to a small argument but soft-hearted Anna allowed him to tag along and even invited hashiba hashiba p super hard and arrived within seconds but as always Mary wasn't thrilled to see him she vowed to mess up his day and show Anna just how lame Hashima really was but every one of her plans got foiled by matu so she decided to take him down first while she was busy Competing with maxu Hashima gave Anna a cute gift and thanked her for inviting him saying it was really fun

to be there with her Anna surprised asked if he really meant it and then suggested they'd break away from the group for a bit Matsu was beating Mary in every competition so she thought about looking at Anna's face to regain her energy but Anna and hashiba were nowhere to be found maxu called it a smooth move and they both sat down to wait for them Since neither of them was answering their phones Matsu asked why she was so obsessed with Anna and suggested she hang out the guys instead she responded that all guys are the

same they only think about themselves and will betray you once they've LED you on Matsu asked if something happened to her but she brushed it offs saying that's just the way she feels and it's none of his business she went to buy a drink and later realized she might have said too Much when she returned she overheard Matsu on the phone with hashiba asking where Anna was Matsu tried to calm her down but she snapped back calling him a sneaky little monkey conspiring behind her back she accused him of making fun of her behind her

back to which Matsu quickly replied when have I ever made fun of you he then asked if she really wanted to see Anna and surprising her took her hand and led her to where Anna was overwhelmed with joy Mary hugged Anna saying she was so worried when she disappeared like that the reason for Anna's disappearance however was to set up a surprise birthday party for Mary everyone wished her a happy birthday and handed her gifts while Anna apologized for disappearing so suddenly Matsu asked the birthday girl if she was having fun and she replied kind

of he teased saying she actually admitted it maybe she was starting to fall for him which earned him a quick slap a bit disappointed Matsu walked out of the room the girl K had helped the beach noticed him and followed him watching as he chatted with key next we see Matsu at home greeted by the same girl girl who turns out to be his younger sister she asked if he knew keys since she saw them together outside the Cara of place Matsu was curious and asked how she knew key so she told him about how

key helped her at the beach she wanted to thank him properly and asked Matsu to set up a meeting Matsu Immediately refused saying K is a busy guy and he pass on her message but she insisted on thanking him in person she pleaded again but he got angry and said no which made her cry and she stormed off the next day during gym class Matsu confronted key and asked if he made him move on his little sister Su the rest of the group joined in and Matsu accused key of hitting on his sister in front

of everyone key completely confused had no idea what Matsu was talking about Matsu Pressed further asking why she wanted to meet key if nothing happened key being forgetful Shrugged it off and Matsu called him a natural flirt soshi then asked Matsu why he was so uptight when it came to his sister Matsu replied that he didn't want anyone to fall in love with his adorable little sister which made everyone laugh K reassured Matsu that he prefer older girls and had no interest in his silly little sister key also mentioned that when maxu refused Noom's request

to meet him she started crying which made everyone think about how badly she wanted to see him they started teasing masu calling him cruel and a bully so he quickly gave in and agreed to let noomi meet key he texted her and she was thrilled to meet key after school they plan to meet near the bridge so after school key and Matsu headed over there with Su Yoshi joining since his girlfriend was also going to be there hashiba left out because of his Committee duties ran into Anna who mentioned that Yuki was arranging a trip

and had invited both her and Mary something hashiba had no clue about at the meeting spot Yuki arrived first followed by tuoshi soon noomi joined them and introduced herself tuoshi joked that it was hard to believe noomi was Matsu's sister because of how polite she was Matsu warned key to keep his mouth shut and noomi smiling thanked key and was thrilled to finally meet him she Mentioned his help that day at the beach but key didn't remember at first Yuki reminded him about the piggyback ride and then it clicked he asked if her foot was

okay now and she told him it had healed suddenly Matsu grabbed Key by the collar demanding to know what the payback ride was all about he explained that she was hurt and having trouble walking so he carried her Matsu yelled that he could have just Lenard his shoulder instead Matsu then turned to Sooshi and Yuki asking why they hadn't told him about this incident they explain that they didn't know noomi was his sister until now Matsu slumped down on the stairs surrounded by an or of defeat Unsure how to feel about the situation just then

hashiba arrived and asked if they were planning a mini vacation that Yuki had arranged Yuki then perked up and asked everyone if they would like to go to the amusement park since she won a bunch of tickets The next day they went on the trip and Matsu gave hashiba a tip about the big ferris wheel in the park there's one car that's heart-shaped and Legend has it that if you ride it with your crush you'll stay together for a long time hashiba excited thanked him and Matsu assured him that he keep the Angry Bird Mary

occupied so hashiba could have some alone time with Anna when they met up with everyone Matsu was shocked to see noomi there and asked what she was doing Yuki told him that she had invited her which led to an argument between Matsu and his sister on the bus noomi tried to sit next to key but Matsu made sure it didn't happen once they reached the amusement park it decided to start with A Thrill Ride everyone was excited but noomi looked a bit scared so Matsu tried to reassure her she still seemed hesitant but when key

told her it would be fun she immediately changed her mind and ended up sitting next to key leaving Matsu stunned after the ride even though she looked a bit shaken she admitted that she really enjoyed it after a few more rides Mary started feeling unwell so Anna took care of her and led her to the restroom hashiba was worried but maxu told him that there's not much we men can do in situations like this while Anna was waiting outside the restroom two strange guys approached her and one of them insisted he knew where the medical

store was an offered to take her There while the other one stayed behind Nave Anna believed him and followed along looking completely helpless just then hashiba and the others spotted the guy taking Anna away while the second guy started arguing with Mary Matsu told hashiba this is when there's definitely something we asteris can asterus do hashiba immediately ran after Anna while Matsu and Kei dealt with the other guy at that moment Mary started feeling faint and almost collapsed but Matsu Managed to catch her though he accidentally touched somewhere he shouldn't have earning himself a sharp

slap across the face meanwhile The Stranger was taking Anna toore the big ferris wheel saying they could see the medical store from up there since he forgot where it was just then hashian running grabbed Anna's hand and pulled her into the ferris wheel saying he wanted to ride together leaving the stranger completely shocked And speechless he couldn't believe what he had just done and realized he was still holding Anna's hand so he quickly apologized just then Anna got a call from Mary who was worried about her Anna reassured her that she was fine and that

she was on the ferris wheel with hashiba Matsu and the others also heard that they were okay but Mary still didn't look relieved Anna then noticed that the car they were riding in was heart-shaped and hashiba felt incredibly lucky she Read aloud this car of happiness will guarantee requited love and longlasting relationships she immediately thought that Yuki and sooshi should have been the ones to ride in it which made hashiba feel a bit disappointed Anna admitted that she kind of wished she had a relationship like Yuki and sooshi so hashiba asked if she had ever

dated anyone she said she hadn't and then asked what kind of guys she liked she gave the typical answer saying she liked Funny guys something hashu knew he definitely wasn't she added that she never really had many boys in her life to begin with but lately she had become more interested than she used to be she started blushing as she said all of this admitting it was her first time talking about these things with a guy curious she asked him what type of girls he liked hashiba replied that he liked cute girls he wanted to

say cute girls like Anna but instead he said he'd likeed Girls who blush when talking about about love because he found it adorable hashiba pointed out you're blushing right now and she shot back saying he was blushing even more it felt so awkward that they both started laughing after the ride Mary ran over and hugged Anna tightly while Matsu and key congratulated hashiba on his Smooth Move Mary asked Anna if hashiba had done anything weird and Anna shyly replied that they just talked about love which Was a little embarrassing but also really enjoyable in the

hotel room hashiba and Anna were playing a card game but hashiba kept losing badly making everyone laugh at his terrible luck however there was one person who wasn't enjoying any of it Mary Anna invited Mary to join them but she made an excuse saying she didn't know how to play cards Yuki teased her saying she definitely knew how to play Truth or Dare but Mary just stood up and said she Was going to the store because she was hungry Matsu announced that he was hungry too and offered to go buy snacks for everyone he followed

Mary who wasn't happy to see him tagging along Mary told him she couldn't stand seeing Anna having fun with anyone else and that it made her upset which is why she was leaving and you should just go away but Matsu didn't back off so she ditched the idea of taking the elevator and ran down the hallway warning him out to follow When Matsu finally reached the shop it was closed he called sooshi to see if he knew of any other stores nearby but he didn't Matsu asked if Mary had come back yet but she hadn't

meanwhile Anna started looking for Mary in other rooms but there was no sign of her and Mary had left her phone behind in their room Anna even checked at the reception desk but they didn't know where Mary was either Matsu came back empty-handed as well Mary on the other hand was Wandering back from the shop but she forgotten the room number and didn't know whose name the room was registered under so she just sat down somewhere in the hallway hoping someone would find her she started wondering why Anna hadn't come looking for her yet did

Anna even care about her anymore or was she too busy having fun with her new friends up until high school they had always been together but now to marry it seemed like Anna had changed just then she saw Anna and hashel walking around looking for her but she didn't want to show herself because she only wanted Anna's attention hashib suggested to Anna that maybe Mary was uncomfortable being around them and wasn't enjoying their company but Anna reassured him that both she and Mary were happy to be getting closer with him and his friends Mary was

jealous that Anna was making new friends and wasn't just focused on her she thought maybe she needed to be more Possessive because Anna was the only person she truly cared about as she was lost in thought Matsu spotted her sitting in the hallway head down quietly crying he asked if she was feeling sick she confessed that it was because of him and the others that she couldn't spend time with analy before Matsu couldn't help but laugh a little it was the first time he had ever seen Mary look so vulnerable and cry and he found

it strangely amusing he told her to come Back because everyone was worried about her for a brief moment Mary thought that maybe try and get along with everyone could actually be fun just like Anna was doing so she grabbed Matsu's arm which made him blush and together they headed back to the room while playing with Yoshi key started losing and made an excuse to leave saying he needed to go next door meanwhile Yuki and noomi were chatting over te when noomi asked Yuki if she also thought Matsu liked Mary Considering he had rescued her that

afternoon from the guys who were hitting on her she pointed out that out of the eight of them there were four pairs Yuki with Su Yoshi Anna with hashiba Kei with her and that left just Matsu and Mary just then there was a knock on the door and it was K he sent Yuki over to soshi's room so he could have some some alone time but noomi started blushing hard at the idea of being alone with him K was nervous thinking that Matsu would Get mad at him he tried to calm himself down promising he

wouldn't do anything weird noomi went to make tea for him while in the boys's room Yuki started playing video games with Su Yoshi back in the girl's room key asked noomi if there was something she wanted to do just outside in the hallway the rest of the group was heading back to the room after finding Mary Matsu asked Mary if she was impressed that he was the only one who found her but she brushed it off Saying it was no big deal Mary seemed to return to her usual personality but she did thank everyone for

looking for her and said that she saw them as her friends now hearing this in appraised Mary saying she was even cuter than usual Mary got excited and begged her to say it again but as they reached the girl's room they were shocked to see noomi sitting on Key's back playfully messing around with him Matsu immediately dragged key outside made him Meal and scolded him for doing such things key defended himself saying it was nozomi's idea which only made m more frustrated maxu warned him that there better not be any more incidents like this and

key feeling awkward wondered why he had to be lectured by Matsu about how to behave noomi then stepped out of the room and told Matsu she was going to get some ice but Matsu sent key to go get it instead Nomi asked Matsu what he and key were talking about but Matsu Brushed it off saying it was just Guy Talk he went back to the room while Nomi headed toward key feeling bad that he was the one sent to get ice key who was deep in thought Wonder wondered what would happen if Noone ever found

determination Kei exchanged numbers with her and made her promised to keep us secret from Matsu she happily agreed to all his conditions after that their trip came to an end and They all headed back home together on the bus after the mini summer trip there's a sports competition happening at school Key's volleyball team is winning as expected and the girls team led by Captain China is also at the top hashiba is in the tennis team and after their next win they'll face Mochi and the boys team unfortunately one of the girls on the basketball team

spraying her ankle so Mary has to play in her place Mary who joined the basketball Team just to be close to Anna thought she'd be warming the bench and nothing more but now she has to play even though she doesn't know a thing about basketball she wants Anna to comfort her but she doesn't know where she is Matsu tells her that he saw Anna near the entrance Mary rushes to meet her but Matsu grabs her by the hair and asks which team she's on when she replies basketball team he says he'll come to cheer her

on but she angrily tells him Not to because she's terrible at basketball after hearing this Matsu becomes even more interested in watching her play and nearly confesses saying that guys like teasing girls they like Mary calls him a creep and storms off to find Anna just then another girl shows up to meet the creep I mean Matsu he notices her leg and asks what happened she explains that she sprained it during the last game and can't play in the next one which is why Mary has to take her Place she sits against the wall and

tells him to play Instead at that moment Mary and Anna happen to walk by and don't seem too happy about what they see Matsu feels embarrassed while he's cursing his bad luck hashiba and sooshi come over asking him to join them to watch the girls tennis match but he excuses himself saying he needs to cool his head he then tells himself that he'll kidnap Anna and confess everything to Mary Matsu goes to watch Mary's game But she's playing terribly so he looks away for a moment suddenly he hears a commotion it's Mary who has been

knocked over by an opponent and is lying on the floor unconscious everyone is worried and calls the teacher who checks her and says she'll be fine but since there's no nurse to take her to the medical room Matsu offers to carry her he takes her to the medical room and the teacher leaves to inform Mary's parents while unconscious Mary keeps repeating One name matun Matsu is stunned thinking she might have a boyfriend and his jaw drops in shock after a while Mary's brother came to pick her up he gently woke her up carried her in

his arms and thanked the teacher for taking care of her then he turned to Matsu and asked if he was Mary's boyfriend Matsu excited immediately said yes but even in her semiconscious State Mary denied it saying he wasn't as Matsu was leaving the the medical room he joined his group Of friends he spotted Anna nearby and told hashiba to go talk to her after greeting hashiba Anna turned to Matsu and thanked him for carrying Mary earlier Anna mentioned she was going to check on Mary at her house so Matsu asked if he could come along

Anna said she have to confirm with Mary first when she called her Mary immediately refused and said not to bring Matsu over under any circumstances poor Matsu thought about just showing up uninvited but he Didn't know where Mary lived Anna then told him that he and Mary sing get along well but if he wasn't serious about her he should leave her alone and then she walked away Matsu could have told her he was serious about Mary but he wanted Mary to hear it first after school he told his friends he wouldn't be walking home with

them because he was planning to confess his feelings leaving them shocked but wishing him good luck by chance while searching for Mary's house He saw Anna coming out of the house and rang the doorbell Mary thought Anna had forgotten something but when she opened the door and saw Matsu she slammed it shut he tried his best to get her to open it but she and Budge he decided to wait there and soon her brother arrived asking what he was doing Matsu explained that he came to check on Mary but she wouldn't let him in her

brother tried opening the door but it was locked from the inside because Mary had fallen Asleep he had brought something for her and didn't want to leave without giving it to her Matsu curious asked why he didn't live with Mary her brother told him that he was married and ever since Mary was in Middle School they've lived separately at that moment Mary woke up and overheard the conversation outside her brother whom she used to call makan and follow everywhere mentioned that he thought she might hate him now Matsu suddenly realized that the name Mary was

Mumbling in her sleep earlier was actually her brother's Matan then asked why Matsu came to see Mary if he wasn't her boyfriend Matsu admitt he was interested in her and Mary was listening to every word her brother said if Matsu was serious that was fine but if not he would be furious he explained that because he had spoiled Mary so much he became a bit selfish but once she trusts someone she's completely open with them as it was getting late he hung the Plastic bag on the door handle and said goodbye to Matsu Matsu decided

to call Mary and when she picked up he confessed that he loved her even if she hated him but Mary replied that she loved Anna and hated all men disappointed Matsu apologized and left wishing her a speed recovery at school we see chba and taju talking about their schedules and the next thing we see is Chiba coming out of T's house he happens to spot them and tells his friends who are equally Shocked they get overly excited at causing the teacher to scold them telling them to keep quiet and just finish their homework Shea shows

up as well and it turns out she also forgot to do her homework so she's told to complete it even though school is already over she mentions that she was busy yesterday so key asks her what happened she explains that her knee was feeling a little off so she went to the hospital but it turned out to be nothing Serious tayu who accidentally submitted his physics homework instead of his math assignment comes to get his notebook back and asks Sheba if she had a game she responds that she's taking a break he calls Kay outside

for a second and when Kay returns Sheba asks what they were talking about he lies saying that taju just returned one of his manga which earns him a quick slap from the teacher for discussing non-school related stuff it was already dark by the Time they finish their homework so the teacher offers to drive them home but they decide to make a quick stop for some fun before heading back ke gets a chance to talk to Chiba and she admits that she's actually faking her knee injury in the recent game she kept making mistakes and the

team lost in ways they never should have she needed a break to clear her head so she decided to sit out for a while ke tells her that taju was worried about her and asked him To cheer her up and sheba admits that taju is a really nice guy after their little outing Shea realizes that she's lost her volleyball key holder which was a precious gift to her seeing how much it meant to her everyone starts searching for it everywhere in the car the restroom and the parking lot but they can't find it Hashima jokingly

asks if it was a gift from taju she says no it was from her volleyball teammates while chibba is still looking for it Taju shows up with the key holder saying he found it in the school parking lot the smile returns to chiba's face and they all head home together in the car Chiba tells everyone that taju is a great person and has been giving her advice on a lot of things lately Matsu asks if that's all because they were thinking the two might have a thing for each other she but denies it saying it's

just Sports rated stuff although Matsu teases that they'd make a good couple Winter break was a was about to start and as hashib and his friends were walking out of the classroom they saw Mochi giving a present to Anna while everyone was shocked hashib didn't seem bothered later he explained that he had already set up a Christmas date with Anna so it didn't surprise him and everyone was happy to see his progress with nothing else to do soshi and key decided to attend the school Christmas party when asked about soshi he Mentioned that Mary was

visiting her brother which made hashiba realize that's why Anna was free on Christmas hashiba got off at a mall to buy a gift from Anna with Su Yoshi tagging along to shop for his girlfriend however neither of them had any clue what to buy nor did they have much of a budget coincidentally Anna and Mary were also at the mall and when Mary found out that Anna was buying a return gift for hashiba she felt a pain with jealousy And wanted to interfere with their date but since she'd be visiting her brother she couldn't instead

Mary suggested some unusual gift ideas for hashiba Anna spotted hashiba and sooshi just as they were leaving with their gifts that night hashiba confirmed the date on the day of the date ashiba arrived 15 minutes early at their meeting spot thrilled to see Anna he took her to a dessert shop since he knew she loved sweets meanwhile the rest of their friends were enjoying Karaoke where Matsu handed Kei a present from moomi though he wasn't too happy about it sooshi even dressed up as Santa for his girlfriend hashiba and Anna reminisced about their first meeting

which had been on Christmas Day the previous year hashiba wondered how he could confess his feelings and ask if she'd like to visit the Christmas tree in the indoor park but Anna seemed distracted looking at her phone and excused herself saying she had to make An urgent call after a while she returned and told him she needed to go somewhere and would be back soon leaving hashiba feeling puzzled the restaurant was packed with a 2-hour limit per table so unfortunately hashiba had to leave he stepped outside and stood in the snow checking his phone waiting

for Anna to contact him after waiting for so long hashiba had caught a cold and was starting to wonder what could have happened to Anna trying to guess the Real reason for her delay Frozen and unable to move we suddenly saw a glimpse of Anna run toward him she asked why he was outside and he explained the 2hour table limit Anna apologized for being so late and handed him gloves as a Christmas present explaining she forgotten them at work where she was called to pick them up hashiba then tried to get out his own gift

for Anna but just as he did a stranger accidentally bumped Anna into Him in that instant hashiba held on to her thinking if he let her go now he might lose her forever in half awake state he leaned in for a kiss leaving Anna stunned before he finally lost Consciousness next we see Anna and Mary chatting while snacking on oranges Anna tells her how Matsu and key helped carry an unconscious hashiba back to his home it's already New Years and hashiba still hasn't replied to Anna's text Anna tries to bring up the kiss but Mary

interrupts Saying out of oranges and heads out to get more Anna wonders why hashiba acted that way hashiba still un bed rest is being taken care of by his grandmother as soon as he gains a bit of Consciousness he plugs in his phone to charge thinking he should contact Anna just then he receives a call from Key who asks if he's okay confused hashiba asks how key knows about this and key explains the whole incident since hashiba has no memory of it he tries to Recall but can only remember Anna giving him gloves as his

last memory then he remembers he forgot to give Anna her present he invites him to visit the shrine on New Year's Eve but hashiba declines to avoid crowds he then texts Anna letting her know he's doing okay and apologizes for Christmas night but Anna wonders why he hasn't mentioned anything about the kiss Mara gets a call from Matsu inviting her to the shrine which she bluntly rejects but Anna Suggests they go so she can meet hashiba there and ask him Kei meets Matsu at his place where noomi is thrilled to see key Kei thanks her

for the Christmas gift and asks if she'd like to join them at the shrine Matsu isn't thrilled but noomi immediately agrees which doesn't make Matsu very happy Anna and Mary also arrive at The Shrine where a huge crowd has gathered to celebrate the New Year Anna feels relieved thinking no one will spot them in the crowd but soon realizes She was wrong not spotting hashib she asks Kei who tells her he's at home sipping soup Anna decides to call him and lets him know she's with Matsu and the others at The Shrine hashiba surprised says

he would have come if he'd known she'd be there Anna tells him she bought a health charm for him and wants to give it to him now saying she'll come over hashiba suggests meeting at the nearby Metro Station instead as his place wouldn't be ideal On her way back Anna bids everyone farewell and gets off at the designated station leaving everyone curious about where she's going at this hour she meets hashiba who is eagerly waiting he apologizes again about Christmas promising to be more careful next time and Anna assures him it's fine they sit down

and Anna tells him she wanted to ask him about something hashiba remembers the gift and gives it to her while Anna hands him the health charm Hashiba thanks her saying he won't catch a cold this year or pass out again hearing this an remembers how unresponsive hashiba was that night hashiba admits that things got hazy as soon as she gave him the gloves Anna asks if he remembers what happened before he collapsed but hashiba has no idea and asks if he did anything strange she says he was just acting a bit unusual just then they

hear the last tring announcement Anna Leaves feeling Somewhat sad that she didn't get answers about why Hasa kissed her wondering if she should just forget it and pretend nothing happened winter break is over and the teacher welcomes the students back with a surprise test after class hashiba bumps into Anna inviting her to hang out and unwind after the test without making eye contact Anna says she can't because she already has plans with Yuki later she feels a bit guilty for being so cold but also finds herself Feeling awkward afterward she and Mary join Yuki at

the cafeteria where noomi is also hanging out they start chatting and Yuki shows some photos of herself and sooshi noticing how close they seem Anna asks Yuki if they've ever kissed and Yuki casually replies that they do often Mary then recalls her own accidental kiss with Matsu and reacts loudly in frustration Anna asks if Mary has ever never kissed anyone and Mary tries to Deny it but her reaction gives her away finally she admits it was an accident and nothing more Anna considers asking Yuki for advice about the kiss since she has experience but just

as she's about to bring it up the boys arrive so she lets it go when hashiba asks if they can join Anna declines saying she has work to do then leaves with Mary and noomi later hashiba asks Yuki if she knows why Anna seems down Yuki agrees Anna seemed a bit off but doesn't know why Anna then Gets a text remind her about a work shift so she says goodbye to Mary on her way she bumps into sooshi who mentions that hashiba se worried about her mood she asks him what he thinks of hashiba and

he responds that while hashiba is awkward and easy to read he's also genuinely honest something Anna agrees with later at home Anna realizes everyone is worried about her but what's really on her mind is why hashiba kissed her and she briefly considers asking Mary yet remembering Mary's reaction she decides not to the truth is while the kiss surprised her and made her Panic a bit she didn't dislike it she wishes someone could explain it to her after reflecting she realizes that she might be in love with hashiba that's why she can't stop thinking about him

the next day at school Anna feels lighter and worri free having decided to stop overthinking she finds herself wanting to see hashiba and when she finally Spots him feels genuinely happy talking to him she decides to keep the kiss a secret bringing the series to a heartful end
